Burrowing ahead

[Anastasia]

"Oh, I will. I've also learned so many new spells," Elle goes right on, smiling away. "Have you seen?"

[Corwin]

"Only what you've actively shown me. I do try to give everyone privacy. Plus I love surprises!"

[Anastasia]

Words are lost in favor of a connection. A connection to Elle, sharp and strong and sudden.

Node update, go read.

"Hey, how close are you on forging the Glory? Once I run it by Garl and everything, I mean?"

[Anastasia]

The Glory of Hope, the spellpool thing, just so we're on the same page? Assuming so, if not correct me.

"It's not like we haven't done one before. It's hard work but we can do it," Elle says confidently.

[Corwin]

"Nice! I'll be sure to give you the go ahead once I've cleared the political side," Seira promises, perking up. "And after that, I've been wondering for the longest of time. We've acquired several artifacts over the years, but I don't like the shape of some of them. Greatswords that are too unwieldly in battle, powerful staves that don't go well with the image I'd like to project, at least not the way a crown would. That sort of thing. It's been my bane for ages, but do you think you could do something about it now?"

[Anastasia]

"Are you kidding?" Elle smiles even more, "I'm a goddess of magic and did you feel just that? I'm sure that's approval."

[Corwin]

"Oh thank me! It's been such a bother, you know how sometimes you've got a song stuck in your head insessantly and you can't get it out? I'm like that with my favorite magical gear. Please help for the sake of my sanity!"

[Anastasia]

"Show me what you want to work with," Elle says, "I'll take a look and if I can't work out something, I'll see if Latha and I together can."

[Corwin]

"Right, so, first is this." Seira produces the Philosopher's Friend before snatching the Commander's Helmet off her head. "Staves don't work well with my image, and mental sharpness should really be close to the heart or the mind. It just doesn't make sense for me to hold it in my hand!"

Her sword is next, and she taps her armbands. "I've also been considering focusing properly on unarmed combat rather than half-assing it by switching between sword and claw. That's the second main thing."

[Anastasia]

For my reference here since it matters, could you paste in the stat blocks for all of those?

[Corwin]

Philosopher's Friend
This darkwood quarterstaff +6 grants a +20 competence bonus to Intelligence and Wisdom based skill checks when in hand. The holder's mental abilities expand with the reflections of the ages, granting a +6 bonus to Intelligence and Wisdom. Finally, the staff may cast sequester once per day (caster level 30th), except that the target does not become comatose.
Philosopher's Friend is a minor artifact.

Commander's Helmet
This helmet grants a +15 competence bonus to Charisma based skills and a +6 enhancement bonus to Charisma. The wearer's voice is clear and powerful, able to be heard clearly for 100ft per hit die of the wearer. Yet the greatest function of the helmet is future seeing, allowing the wearer to have an instinctive grasp of which of her strategies are wise. This grants a +20 competence bonus to any check related to leading soldiers and planning battles, as well as the ability to 'sense' flawed plans. This works through powerful divination magic, able to foil any non epic protections to provide this, even if a plan would appear sound with the information the wearer has on hand.
Commander's Helmet is a minor artifact.

Dragon's Grace: Shortsword+7. This blade seeks out the weak spots of it's victims, increasing it's wielders sneak attack damage by 2d6. In addition it functions as a staff of fiery power with 50 charges and without it's retributive strike.

Armbands of the Spark: +10 Keen Deadly Precision Shattermantle Armbands of the Spark, a pair of black armbands that turn the wearer's unarmed attacks or natural weapons into +10 keen (19-20 crit threat range), deadly precision (+1d6 SA) and shattermantle (cumulative -2 to target's SR for a round on a hit) weapons. The wearer's unarmed strikes and natural weapons also count as adamantine, silver and epic to overcome damage reduction. Further, they allow the user to channel life energy. Five times per day, they may activate that power as a swift action. For the next minute, they may deal critical hits and precision damage to creatures normally immune to such.

[Anastasia]

Elle takes some time to study them all. As she works, "And what forms do you want them in?"

[Corwin]

"I want the Armbands to help me with my precision work, given that they're already geared for that. Dragon's Grace will stand just fine on its own afterwards, and should make a nice gift to Emily, fiery powers and all. As for the other pair, ideally all would be merged into headwear, although a diadem might look better than a helm since I could wear it off the battlefield as well. What do you think, Elle?"

[Anastasia]

"I'll work on them," Elle agrees, "Do you need them fast?"
